Abstract

We investigate the consistency strength of the statement: κ is weakly compact and there is no tree on κ with exactly κ+ many branches. We show that this statement fails strongly (in the sense that there is a sealed tree with exactly κ+ many branches) if there is no inner model with a Woodin cardinal. Moreover, we show that for a weakly compact cardinal κ the nonexistence of a tree on κ with exactly κ+ many branches and, in particular, the Perfect Subtree Property for κ, implies the consistency of AD + DC.
